I’m so excited, and not in the least bit scared (sorry, Jessie Spano, I don’t feel you this time). I just got an evite (yes, you heard right…that’s just how we [procrastinators] roll) from my bridesmaids for my bridal shower coming up in a mere 11 days. It’s one of the many wedding-related things going on these days that’s making this whole thing feel more and more real.
They oh-so-considerately did ask me for some general preferences (absolutely don’ts, musts, level of formality, guest list) and ideas since I am a lot more in tune [obsessed] with wedding things than they are. Since I keep subconsciously overcompensating for the rapid spread of Bridezilla-itis out there, I told them that I honestly did not want or care if they threw me a shower, bachelorette party, et. al. at all. Despite their student budgets and one of them being in Japan for the summer, the two locals insisted and finagled some information out of me.
Out of all that information, they decided to go with an idea I got from my friend, Nanette. Her shower had a “date night” theme for gifts - so gifts were things that would make a nice date night for the couple. It looks like my bridesmaids put their own spin on it, indicating “entertainment” as the theme and gifts in the direction of “things that would make for fun dates for the married couple,” and requests to bring movie clips in. I’m usually not a fan of themed parties, but I know they can be awesome when pulled off properly. It sounds low-key and perfect for the ladies that will be there. I can’t wait!
Although more than half of my guest list is out of town so obviously probably won’t be able to make it on such short notice, I’m feeling so blessed and loved [insert warm fuzzies here].
